Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
ACM Government Securities Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of ACM
Government Securities Fund, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1997,
we considered its internal control, including control activities for
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements
and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance on the internal control.
The management of ACM Government Securities Fund, Inc. is responsible
for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally,
controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective
of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the
design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control would not necessarily disclose all
matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that errors or fraud in amounts that would
be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur
and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course
of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters
involving the internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above at December 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of
directors and management of ACM Government Securities Fund, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
